We asked the Department to tell us how it would be evaluating the success of the fund and its value for money, for example measures of the impact on jobs, freelancers and supply-chain organisations. The Department told us that it had awarded a contract to Ipsos MORI, BOP Consulting and Ecorys for the evaluation, which would be completed this financial year. The evaluation would be both a value for money assessment and a process review, to learn lessons about the fund and what it had achieved.57
